How to add page numbers

  1. Drop your PDF into the box above.
  2. Pick a format — "Page 1 of 10" is common for reports.
  3. Choose font, size, color, position, and margin.
  4. Choose which pages (skip first page for reports with a cover).
  5. Click Apply page numbers.

Technical limitations

  • Page numbers are drawn as new text on each page.
  • Only built-in PDF fonts are supported (Helvetica, Times, Courier).
  • "Skip first page" still counts the cover when using "of N" totals — intentional, matches most printing conventions.

Frequently asked

Can I skip the first page?

Yes — use "Skip first page" or specify a custom range like 2-20.

What does "custom" format do?

Write any string using {n} (current page) and {total} (total pages). For example: Page {n} of {total}.
